On March 1st, chefs, restaurateurs, critics and tastemakers were invited to celebrate the launch of Canada’s 100 Best Restaurants magazine’s second annual ranking issue at Nota Bene.

The evening was filled with some of the restaurant world’s most celebrated individuals and Toronto’s most notable figures, from “most innovative” chef Justin Leboe to Jacob Richler, Jeanne Beker and Bar Isabel’s very own Gran van Gameren.

Yorkville staple Carens Wine & Cheese recently announced that they will be closing their doors this Saturday January 16. After thirteen years as a favourite among locals and tourists alike, the neighbourhood boite that became famous for its delicious fondue, mac and cheese, and tuna Rothschild (… the list could go on) is ending its run.

Oh, what a night! On Monday December 14, locals, friends and family were invited to celebrate the holiday season with Karen Walters at her newly renovated boite, “Carens Rosedale”. What started off as a night of good food and cocktails, soon turned into a who’s who of Rosedale. Guests were invited to sip crisp, bubbly Veuve Cliquot and sample some of Carens’ most decadent dishes from her famous Tuna Rothschild to her exquisite Mushroom Risotto.

We’re out on the east end and surrounded by some fantastic options for food. Being a team full of self-professed foodies, you can imagine how happy this makes us. From the newly opened Carbon Bar on Queen, to Hawthorne on Richmond, to all day breakfast at Petit Déjeuner, or even the reliably friendly standby of the George Street Diner we’re well fed at the DMC offices. Here’s some of our top picks for lunch in the area… and oh look, it’s quar...

It’s mid-December, and with that there’s no denying the holiday season is upon us! Our team might work months ahead, planning for Christmas in summer (Hot Holiday) or sending spring look books in the fall, but we think there’s no time like the present, for, well, PRESENTS!

With no further ado, here’s DMC’s guide to what we’d love to give and get!

For the second year in a row, Toronto was home to the Delicious Food Show where chip trucks, gourmet chefs, bakers and celebrities showed off their latest, greatest and most delightful creations. DMC was onsite with Pluck Tea for the opening morning where tea sommelier Jennifer Commins served up her best Earl Grey Cream at the media breakfast for the show’s star, lifestyle guru Martha Stewart.

Toronto, Calgary and Vancouver are set to get a little more wild and a lot more sweet with the arrival of Montreal celebrity chef Martin Picard. Hired to promote the launch of his incredible new book Sugar Shack Au Pied de Cochon, Deb McCain Communications has overseen all the English-Canada publicity: leading up to the March 1 launch in Montreal and the three-city media tour throughout the month.
